Air Quality Regulation

Regulations adopted by the Forsyth County Commissioners help protect the quality
of our air. These include local, state and federal air quality requirements limiting
or controlling emissions from stationary sources of air pollution. While all must
comply with Air Quality Regulations, certain facilities and businesses must also
apply for Permits to Construct and Operate Air Pollution sources. Other facilities
and businesses must register their air pollution source or submit notifications.
You should contact us, if you think you may need an Air Quality Permit, need to
Register, or need to submit a notification.

If your business, activity or facility emits substances into the outside air, you
may need an Air Quality Permit. Permits set forth specific compliance obligations
and meet federal and state requirements. Air quality permits ensure that permittees
know what their air quality obligations are and how to comply with those obligations.
